Ronald1: I don't think this package will get installed on your system if you use the live image isntaller, but I am not positve. The isntaller may just give the image of the live image and not anything you changed while it was running.

Ronald1: the live system may install the live image (as opposed to a minimial system). The software is the same, but it may be a different collection of packages after the initial install. You can ofcourse modify things once installed

If you read the live documentation they talk about the two types of installers. The live image can either provide a copy of the debian installer (which I think you can run only from boot), or the live image installer which copies the live image. Still from teh same pool of debian packages, just a different starting point

Ronald1: there is a very minimial console that you can use during the normal debian-installer but you can't do much with it. If you want to have some sort of enviorment while you install you'll want a full live system.

Is there anyone (that wants to help) that knows lightdm greeter config well? I'm overwhelmed with trying to fix my greeter (login screen). One of my two monitors repeatedly flickers, and the monitors are mirrored. In debian testing w/ xfce (neither of which should matter in relation to the greeter) and an nvidia gpu (might matter)

Das_Cheese: yeah it decides to use 1152x864 for both monitor, although looking at modes it could use 1440x900"x59.9 - does it flicker if you change it to this mode after login? you should be able to do this using xrandr (or some graphical front-end for it)

The copyright file for mariadb says 'The manual had to be removed as it is not free in the sense of the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG).', but the man pages (or at least the ones I have checked) clearly state that they are under the GPL.

trying to run Xorg -configure from a root terminal to get an xorg.conf file with lightdm service stopped. it keeps returning a segfault, signal 11. noveau drivers. google's being no help. anyone have experience with this?

another use would be to specify which video driver to use, in my case from years past I could do that for nvidia driver (conf.d option was not available when I wrote it so I stuck with the full xorg.conf for years)

Hello everyone. I tried to install a linux on a hardrive where a windows os already is installed. I left enough space free for the linux to be installed but now the installation doesn't recognise the windows partitions. what can i do? (Windows has been installed over a backup onto the disk and works properly)

To get an NTFS or VFAT file system accessible by users and groups on the local machine, man mount; man 5 fstab; and read about the umask, fmask, dmask, uid, and gid options. You'll end up sticking something like conv=auto,uid=<user>,gid=<group>,dmask=0002,fmask=0003 into your fstab's mount option field.

If you have a question, just ask! For example: "I have a problem with ___; I'm running Debian version ___. When I try to do ___ I get the following output ___. I expected it to do ___." Don't ask if you can ask, if anyone uses it, or pick one person to ask. We're all volunteers; make it easy for us to help you. If you don't get an answer try a few hours later or on debian-user@lists.debian.org. See <smart questions><errors>.

hey guys. trying to install teamviewer_x32-v8 on a multistrap jessie-amd64 install. (like I did several times before). yet I can satisfy all dependencies, can't spot conflicts, but aptitude wants me to remove a whole bunch of things!

ikcalB: i think that happened to me a week ago. My gnome is not fancy any more. Just a have a standard gnome desktop now that i have to start myself from the terminal. Did not investigate yet if it was my agreement to run auto remove.

I deleted all the debian system partition in windows to reinstall with a different partitioning scheme. Upon trying to boot the USB ISO, i go directl to the grub prompt. I have followed many guides online but non addresses this problem. They all talk about root partition followed by updating the grub. I can't do that because I have no debian/linux partitions. How do I solve this problem?
